Removing Downloaded Music

Any way to Remove Downloaded Playlists, instead of Song by Song? (it took 5 seconds to Download a large Holiday Playlist, but will take weeks of button tapping to remove each song individually)

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Go to the top right and tap on the checkmark.
Then, choose “Remove downloads”.

As it says, that option will remove the downloaded songs from that playlist, off of the device:
